Richard,
My KXAT3 goes down many unpaved gravel roads in the mountains of North
Georgia and has for many years - since June 2012.
At times we joke that the roads are actually potholes inter-connected by
short stretches of gravel pavement.
The KX3 lives in the cab of a Ranger pick-up mounted on a seat bolt mounted
post.
Occasionally I have had to retighten the mount bolts but have not needed to
repair anything in the radio.
